Colored Glass Bottles on Wooden Bench

Warm late-afternoon light falls through sheer curtains to illuminate a row of colored glass bottles resting on a wooden workbench near Düsseldorf. Amber, cobalt, and emerald surfaces catch the angled beams, creating sharp highlights that dance across the smooth curves. The dry season air leaves the wood grain exposed and the glass dust-free, revealing every scratch and reflection. Shadows stretch softly across the planks, at the base of the vibrant vessels in the natural texture of the grain. A deep blue bottle at the edge reflects a sliver of the window frame, its color intensifying against the pale, sun-warmed timber.
